Environment Canada says there is widespread risk for snow across B.C.’s South Coast Tuesday morning.
Up to four centimentres of snow is possible in areas near sea level and around five centimetres is expected over higher terrain, including the Malahat Highway, inland areas of Vancouver Island and on Metro Vancouver’s North Shore, according to a special weather statement.
The amount of snowfall will be “highly variable” over short distances, Environment Canada said.
Drivers are encouraged to prepare for challenging conditions and to allow extra time for travel.
Higher total snowfall accumulations are expected for the Sea-to-Sky Highway north of Squamish, according to the statement.
Inland areas of Vancouver Island and higher elevation roads are also at risk of wet flurries Tuesday afternoon, Environment Canada said.
“The risk of flurries returns Wednesday morning but is likely to be confined to higher terrain.”
